NY, Florida & Cluj Napoca cake


Oh boy! oh boy ... this was a cake that had to include so many things.... I wasn't really sure how it would come out, but in the end I think it came out great!
I was asked to include NY and Florida in this cake, because they were important to Brian. Hence the big apple for NY and the Florida gator, palm tree and beach for Florida.
Cluj Napoca  was represented by Il caffe, which is a local coffee bar, where the birthday guy and his wife met, so it was special to him, hence the "Il caffe"coffee cup.
The airplane was another important element that I had to incorporate in the design.

Detail of the Florida gator. I did my homework:)

    eu folosesc colorant wilton. in acest caz tortul este si pictat cu pensula cu colorant rosu din kaufland, pt ca am vrut sa fie mai lucios nu asa mat.

    Giovanna, This was the best birthday cake I ever saw. Yes you are correct, I did not want to cut the Cafe Cup. But On Sunday, I brought it to the Family of the Cafe Shop and showed them what a wonderfull job you did, and we cut the cake. Not only was this cake the best looking cake I ever saw. I tasted great. You really are an expert in making cakes. FYI: New York is my Home Town as I am a New Yorker, Florida is my second home. Cluj Napoca is where my heart is, with my Wife Ligia.
    Thanks you So Much...
